Cleveland Cavaliers take trolling of Golden State Warriors to the next level with singlet number

As far as trolling your main rival goes, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to get into the heads of the Golden State Warriors.

James started it all when he wore a T-shirt featuring professional wrestler The Ultimate Warrior after his team overcame a 3-1 deficit to win last year’s NBA championship.

Now the numbers 3 and 1 will be seen whenever the Cavs take the court.

Deron Williams, who played his first match for his new team against Boston on Wednesday (Thursday, Australian time) wore number 31 on his singlet, a decision that had social media abuzz with trolling talk.

Williams had worn No.8 during his career, but new teammate Channing Frye already wears that number for Cleveland.

Williams need to find a new number, but going from 8 to 31, knowing the history those two digits have in the NBA right now, can’t be a coincidence.

One things is for sure, even if an alternative reason is offered up, this is sure to spice up the rivalry between the teams even more.

Can we please just hurry up and let them play in the NBA Finals again?
